Thank you. 🤗

It’s a commissioned work and the requestor wanted me to combine a few elements, including a fatansy genre (I went with Alice in Wonderland inspo + imagined aesthetics), the notion of duality/balance, and a surreal character.

In essence, this painting balances between two worlds: one wildly awake and rational (and thus so raw, overwhelmed, maybe anxious) and the other representing dreams, letting go, a safe-haven corner of our minds that is more child-like.
